Awesome man. Canned vocals sound nice to the audience and I can understand their usage in some situations. Rush for instance. Three piece and only Geddy CAN sing so... They at least trigger everything themselves for the most part which takes skill and since Geddy plays foot keyboards, sings and plays bass at the same time I can forgive him.

Hey Eclipse, any old recordings of you guys back in the day ?

We had video from a Cleveland show at The Odeon, but my stepkids taped over mine and I haven't been able to find another yet. I am worling on it, though.

I do have our old mp3 demo files somewhere. They were one take in the studio versions of Any Way You Want It and Open Arms.

Damn stepkids. Oh wait, I was a stepkid.

ROFLMAO!

Don't think that they did it on purpose. Who knows, maybe their mom (my ex) did it.

Just have to figure out the best place to post these mp3's. Youtube?

I'd zip them up and use www.yousendit.com Actually if you post them one at a time, you don't have to zip them.

OK, for the technologically challenged (I am only the bass player), where am I sending them to?

Email them to yourself through "YOUSENDIT" and post the http link that comes in the email here so we can get them.

That was one take of all the instruments together (drummer was in a different room), one take lead guitar, one take of Jason'd lead vox, and 4 of us standing around 1 mic to sing the harmonies together. Very low budget. lol

I thought they were earlier. Dont get me wrong. He sounds great here but when I saw him live I guess starting in 94 he was even better. This is more his natural voice with a little Perry in it. When you listen to the loving you recording from 95 that I posted on here you can hear when I mean. Neat to hear him so early. His chops grew big time in a short time. I really hope to see you guys live..

Well, that is my best guess because my Christian metal band Catalyst broke up the year after releasing our CD, which was in 1990. I joined another band, which moved to Nashville when my first wife was pregnant, which was 1992. By the end of 1994 I was out of the band because I moved to Alabama briefly in 1995.

Yes, I continued to go hear Jason after I left the band, and he got more "Steve-ish" the more he sang. He turned into a pretty good front man, too (he was a little stiff at first). And now he continues to amaze me. And he doesn't even try.

Well I'm really glad he's decided to rejoin the band(s). He's got a great gift, it would be a shame not to let the world hear it.
